Oktoberfest Slot
Oktoberfest one of those slots that needs no introduction. One glance at the title and you know what you’re getting yourself into, so grab yourself a cold one and get ready for some drunken fun! If you’re a teetotaler, however, you might want to move on to the next slot. Amaya’s Oktoberfest slot features a click me bonus as well as a progressive jackpot.
A “Reel” Festival
If you are not familiar with Oktoberfest, this is a real 16-day beer festival that is held annually in Munich and over the years has become a world-wide phenomenon with over 6 million people attending each year, as well as countless others who beer during this time, as well, all across the globe. The main aim of the festival is errrr… well, there is no aim. Just drink as much as you can for as long as you can and you’re in. There are a number of slots out there (Bier Haus by WMS included) that already feature the beer theme, but Amaya’s Oktoberfest is actually the first to directly celebrate the popular festival. Oktoberfest is not the only beer-themed slot from Amaya though, as they also have Pints and Pounds, which has been enjoyed by huge success.
Oktoberfest is a 5-reel, 9-payline slot game and is a simpler version of WMS’s Bier Haus, and by the way, simple does not always mean bad. As you would expect, the symbols are mostly beer-related and include Beer Bottles, Beer Mugs, Water Glass, Lederhosen Guy, Beer Wench, Tyrolean Hat, Beer Kegs, Wurstl, Pipes, and Accordions.
Is that Horse Wild or Just Drunk?
While it may strike you as a bit odd that the wild symbol is represented by smiling Horse, so it is. Don’t blame the Horse though; maybe he’s just had too much to drink. Unlike many wilds that substitute all other symbols apart from bonus symbols, the smiling Horse only substitutes the Lederhosen Guy and the Beer Wench. It will, however, award you a top jackpot when you get 5 of them in a line.
There’s also a progressive jackpot up for grabs in this slot, but only maxed out spins, that is max bet spins, will be eligible for the top jackpot payout. However, there is a corresponding and lesser valued jackpot payout for low wager spins, which is a rare feature in a majority of online slots that feature progressive jackpots.
Win Big in the Beer Barrel Bonus Feature
This is the main bonus feature in this slot and you will unlock it with 3 or more matching Water Glass, Beer Mugs, or Beer Bottles. Three matching symbols will win you a 1X multiplier, 4 will win you a 2X multiplier, and 5 matching symbols will award a 3X multiplier. Once the bonus feature is activated, you will be presented with 12 Beer Barrels, which you can click on to reveal your prize(s). This feature will end when you click the Collect Barrel, but find the Collect Barrel on your first pick to win maximum bonus multiplier. Everyone’s a winner during Oktoberfest!
Opportunistic Limits
Bet using credit values of your choice, from 0.01 to 5.00. With 9 lines, here’s another one of the few slots that offer micro-limit and penny bettors a chance to play all lines at micro limits. A max bet is valued at 45.00 credits. The progressive jackpot adjusts to your bet, making for a great opportunity for slot players with any size bankroll to have a chance at winning a progressive payout.
Simple but Staggering Play!
Frankly speaking, Oktoberfest is not the greatest beer slot ever crafted (Bier Haus wins hands down), but Amaya’s festive beer slot will put a smile on your face nonetheless. From the smiling Horse to the Lederhosen Guy, Oktoberfest the slot has everything you need for a good laugh, especially if you’ve had a few, and you may also win some cash while you’re at it. The bonus hits often, but isn’t going to change your life. This slot is best suited for casual gamblers who legitimately enjoy playing slots whether they’re winning or losing. If you are not expecting too much more than a jolly old time from your online slot experience, then you won’t be too disappointed with Oktoberfest the slot.
